Nonexistent Physiology type 2 interaction

Not by default, for NEP Nature Type 2 it is necessary to "lack" even the duality of existence (1) and non-existence (0).
Not OP but I have a question. So if something were to be stated to be neither existing nor non-existent (Just this alone), would that qualify for it or nah? Or would it be another ability?
 
So if something were to be stated to be neither existing nor non-existent (Just this alone)
The phrase "neither existence nor non-existence " is quite open-ended/vague , so it has to be evaluated depending on the context and what the phrase is referring to. The expression in question may simply be a fancy phrase used to exaggerate/emphasize a certain situation (as an interpretation of Madhyamaka philosophy), or it may actually refer to an existential situation.

Existentially context, "neither existence nor non-existence" can refer to both existence (1) and non-existence (0), and this paradoxical way of being is NEP Nature 3, but if "neither existence nor non-existence" refers to a state existentially lack of even the duality of existence (1) and non-existence (0), this is NEP Nature Type 2.

However, it should not be forgotten that for NEP Nature Type 3, a character needs to be stated to be immune to manipulations of the aspects they are nonexistent in due to their nonexistence.

That is a literal type 2 statement
Non-existent physiology said:
Idealistic Nonexistence: The character doesn't exist in a sense further beyond conventional nonexistence. In terms of binary, this would be something that is neither 1 nor 0, where 1 is existence and 0 is nonexistence.
 
You said not by default so thier is a chance it can interact with nep 2 depending
No, what I mean is that being transcends of the existence-non-existence duality is definitely not enough on its own, It is necessary to have the expressions I mentioned. A character who transcends the existence and non-existence duality can also have a nature that is lack of even the existence and non-existence duality.

According to the context...

So what you mean transcerd duality of existence and nonexistence gives transduality and cant interact with nep 2. Lack the duality of existence and nonexistence = nep 2 can interact with nep 2 because they have it themselfs
 
No, they can interact with NEP 2 only if they can interact with nothingness that lack of even the very notion of nothingness it self
 
No, they can interact with NEP 2 only if they can interact with nothingness that lack of even the very notion of nothingness it self
But you need feats for that what am talking about is transcerding the duality of existence and nonexistence is enough to interact with nep 2 without the feats to interact with nep 2
 
If a character transcends the duality of existence and nonexistence, can they interact with NEP-2?
If they “transcends” refers to their state of existence as being non-existence as well then, sure. That’s assuming the object in question(NEP type-2) is a being that can be mutable rather than being plain emptiness that just a state, rather an a tangible or intractable thing.

Either way, they can if they meet those criteria.
